"Funny, introspective, and touching. . . . The lessons Meichi
gently shares with us through delightful stories are full of wisdom
for people at any life stage who need a reminder they're not
alone." -Mari Andrew, author of Am I There Yet? From the creator of
Barely Functional Adult, a painfully relatable webcomic with over
130k followers on Instagram, comes a never-before-seen collection
of incriminating short stories about exes, murder, friendship,
therapy, anxiety, Hufflepuff, sucking at things, freaking out about
things, calming down momentarily, melodrama, wrinkles, pettiness,
and other wonderful delights. Wielding her trademark balance of
artful humor, levity, and heartbreaking introspection, Meichi Ng's
indisputably relatable collection of short stories holds a mirror
to our past, present, and future selves. Featuring a swaddled
Barely Functional Adult as its protagonist who says all the things
we think but dare not say, this book is equal parts humorous and
heartbreaking as it spans a spectrum of topics from imposter
syndrome, therapy, friendships, first loves, letting go of exes, to
just trying to find your purpose in the world. Prepare to excitedly
shove this book in your friend's face with little decorum as you
shout, "THIS IS SO US!" In this beautiful, four-color collection
compiled completely of never-before-seen content, Meichi perfectly
captures the best and worst of us in every short story, allowing us
to weep with pleasure at our own fallibility. Hilarious, relatable,
and heart-wrenchingly honest, Barely Functional Adult will have you
laughing and crying in the same breath, while taking solace in the
fact that we're anything but alone in this world.

Meet Oldguy: your regular aging superhero whose powers have
dwindled over the years, and whose very mechanics are seriously
fizzling. In seriocomic misadventures, Oldguy valiantly attempts to
continue his former heroism in a somewhat wry version of
Faulknerian endurance, defeating his enemies time and again-if not
through superhuman abilities, then at least by "outliving the
sons-a-bitches." With its comic book-style illustrations, Oldguy
inhabits a space all to itself-not strictly a poetry collection,
not quite a graphic novel-hybrid sure to visually and aurally
delight.
